PODCAST: The time is right for new look at natural resource management


Bookmark and Share

This post is to draw attention to the need for a rethink of how we manage natural resources.

We interviewed Professor Bruce Clarkson, who has many years experience in this area.

Professor Clarkson is the Chair of Biological Sciences at Waikato University in Hamilton, New Zealand.

He highlighted a number of anomalies in the way forests and other resources are managed in New Zealand, suggesting that the current framework sets one resource sector against another.

With issues around climate change to the fore, and temperatures rising over resource management generally, I asked Professor Clarkson whether the current management regime was up to the task.
